1387 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

The three-story New Law Tenement building at 1387 Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Margarita Rivera, has been in operation since 1901 and contains three residential units. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing self-closing door requirements, with multiple violations noted between 2019 and 2023 related to both individual apartment doors (notably in 3FL) and common area doors including the roof bulkhead.

The most recent violation was recorded in October 2023, though all these violations have been subsequently closed. Importantly, the building has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the six consecutive annual filings from 2020 through 2024, and the most recent December 2024 report again showing zero infested units. The property has also maintained a clean record regarding rodent inspections, with passed results in 2025, 2024, 2022, 2019, and 2012, indicating effective pest control measures over the years.

The building's recent history shows attention to compliance with safety requirements, particularly regarding door functionality, though the recurrence of self-closing door violations suggests this remains an ongoing maintenance focus. The property has established a strong track record of addressing bedbug reporting requirements, consistently filing reports even during periods with no infestations. The successful completion of rodent inspections and the absence of reported infestations in multiple categories suggest generally sound building management practices, though the recurring nature of the self-closing door violations indicates this remains a persistently monitored area of compliance.
